Curiosidades
Although the story is fictional, it is inspired by a real incident in which a posse from a California town had a shoot-out with convicts escaped from the Carson City prison. Convict Lake is a real place in California, named after the incident.

Pifias
In the beginning when the convicts make their way into the village of Lake Monte Diablo, Granny grabs a 45/70 single shot rifle from the wall and hands it to Marcia to cover the men.

When the women go outside to meet the men, Marcia points the rifle at the men & warns them.

As she raises the rifle, Marcia is now holding a Henry lever action repeating rifle.

Citas
Granny: What do you want?
Johnny Greer: Get out of that bed.
Granny: What are you up to?
Johnny Greer: Get up.
Granny: I can't. I'm a poor old woman lying in a bed of pain reading my bible, you blood thirsty weasel.

Far better than most westerns because it is so unusual.

When the film begins, a group of prisoners have escaped in the Sierra Nevadas. Most were soon caught but there are six unaccounted for...and headed towards a very, very small town. To make things worse for the folks in this minuscule town, all the men are gone...leaving everything to the women. While the women do initially get the jump on the prisoners, they cannot let them freeze to death or starve so they take them in...but keep them under close observation. There are some obvious problems...when they are healthier, this group of sociopaths are a serious risk to rape, steal or do other mayhem. Also, one of the men (Glenn Ford) is in this small town for a reason...one of the men from the town set him up to go to prison and he wants revenge. But he also is a decent man...and might be the only thing between the women and these sickos.

In some ways this film reminds me of the Gregory Peck film "Yellow Sky"....which is about a gang of thugs who harass an old man and his daughter. But this one has quite a few differences and is very good in its own right. Unusual and well worth seeing...and based, at least in part, on real events. How much was fiction and how much wasn't, I have no idea.
